Haleigh & Jonathan
Wedding Party
Stephanie
Maid of Honor/Officiant/Wedding Planner (Superwoman)
My sister.. she's the worst, but also awesome! I can't think of another person I would want running the show on my wedding day. She's funny, she's beautiful, and she has way better style than I do. I'm so excited she's standing with me on my big day and can't wait for those of you who don't know her to meet her. ps. she's not really the worst...
Emily
Bridesmaid
My best midwestern friend! Emily and I met on during our study abroad program in Zambia in 2009. Since then she has been a constant friend! Emily loves hugs, cuddling with me on the couch, telling me all of her deepest darkest secrets, and crying together and drinking cocktails after a bad day. (Not really.. she hates all of those things.. but I force them on her anyways.. and that's why we're best friends).
Hannah
Bridesmaid
My first college friend! Hannah lived across the hall from me our first semester at Harding, by the second semester we swapped roommates so that we could live together. I then shared a room with Hannah for almost 5 years. During that time she locked me out, yelled at me because I put the toilet paper on wrong, and forced... I mean.. decided with me that we should get a dog... so I guess you could say she's prepared me for marriage!
Maggie
Bridesmaid
"Mexico Maggie" as she's referred to by Jon. I met Mags on my first RN travel assignment, and we became fast friends. Maggie is adventurous, fearless, kind and loyal. Most of all she loves deeply! She also helps me to remember to say yes to things even if I don't quite want to.. which is maybe how we ended up in Mexico at 930pm on a Friday night.
Cassie
Bridesmaid
Cassie is hands down the most considerate person I know! She cares so well for her friends...so much so she let me live with her and her husband off and on for several years. I am so grateful for my friendship with Cassie and am so honored to call her a friend. She's definitely the best thing in Huntsville Alabama for sure!
Justin
Best Man
You can't make new old friends. I met Justin in the 3rd grade and we've been best friends ever since. Growing up in Niagara Falls revolved around playing video games, hanging out in someone's basement, sharing a love of very different music and frankly more video games. Even moving away to a new school, then a new state, and a new state, and a new state...we kept in touch. Easily my most VOCAL advocate, I'm grateful for the entire Deuro family being a part of my life. Justin Likes: Earthbound, Coheed & Cambria, Drums, Wine, and "Lasers" Justin Does Not Like: When I work too much, being far away from me, and when I don't play games
Brian
Groomsman
The Package Deal. Brian and I became fast friends my first day of 10th grade after moving to a very small town in south-westen New York, the rest they say is history. Little did I know when we met that The Wendels are a package deal. Brian and his family have been such a huge part of my life, always encouraging adventures, trying new things and letting loose. The other package deal is the third musketeer: our dear friend Rachel, who usually supervising our shenanigans and regularly reminding us to prioritize hygiene during said adventures. Brian Likes: Family, the great outdoors, good music, classic GMC trucks, and whiskey with friends Brian Does Not Like: Corporate America, long distance relationships and super-heated tea
Brian
Groomsman
The Wildcard. Brian aka "Metz" and I met our first year of college and quickly bonded into an amazing group of smart, fun and reliable friends. Brian has been a huge inspiration through college and often challenged me to remove the phrases like "I can't," "Not possible," and "I give up" from my life. Brian has been equal parts super human, tackling literally every part of his life with 110%, balanced with an absolute ridiculous, kid-like nature, never taking anything too serious - he represents the best and worst of pilots everywhere, and I hope he never changes. Metz Likes: His sisters, flying, bunk beds, inappropriate jokes, and being frugal Metz Does Not Like: Being second (in anything), rides with minimum height requirements and bear markets
Trung
Groomsman
The Gentleman. Trung and I met our first year in college and spent our last "super semester" as roommates. Trung is easily one of the hardest working people I know and always makes sure to give back every chance he can. Trung has always been there to provide encouragement through tough times, tough love when it's needed most and a quiet pride that he's more than earned - plus he's easily one of the best dressed men I've ever known. This is a man I can't say enough good things about and I'm proud to call him my friend. Trung Likes: Honor, country music, creatine, and the Tennessee Volunteers Trung Does Not Like: Breaking promises, cowardice, running on the beach, and electrical engineering II
